Suppose that we have a sample of edges, sampled uniformly at random from the edge set of a graph . Also, let . Now the graph changes, in particular, either a non-existing edge (if the graph is not complete) is inserted or an existing edge is deleted. Do we need to sample edges from scratch?More generally, […]
Motivation: Suppose you are given a large “who-calls-whom” network. This is a network where each vertex represents a human and we have an (undirected) edge between two humans if and only if they exchanged a phone call. An important problem that comes up in anomaly detection is finding sets of vertices that “look like” cliques. […]
Suppose that balls, where is a constant, are thrown sequentially to bins, all of which are initially empty. Let be the number of empty bins after we have thrown balls. Clearly, . Let’s see how we can understand this sequence of random variables. When we move from step to we throw a ball. It either falls in an […]
